Spring is here—and with it comes the return of light, color, and time spent outdoors.
This beginner-friendly class introduces the foundations of mosaic through demonstration and hands-on experience. You’ll create a 1-2 small pebble mosaic stone (s) (5-6 inch) to take home—no experience needed.
This first 3-hour workshop gives you the foundation and confidence to continue into the full Mosaic Garden Series (coming to Whatcom Art Center May through August).
This hands-on mosaic series is an invitation to celebrate the season by creating beautiful, personal pieces for your garden and home. From natural pebble designs to colorful glass accents, each workshop adds something unique—bringing character, texture, and a quiet sense of joy to your outdoor spaces.
Let’s razzle-dazzle your garden with beginner-friendly outdoor mosaic garden stones!
